Bicycle Shops
Shanghai actually has a reasonable number of high end shops. There is the Trek store near Thumb Plaza and there is also “Bicycleshop.cn”:http://bicycleshop.cn. The prices are the same as the U.S. it looks like at least from the site. They have two locations one is in Pudong. The new shop is on Zhang Yang Lu…

W.W. Chan Tailor
On the other hand, suits are much cheaper in China than in Hong Kong. “W.W. Chan”:http://www.wwchan.com/ is in the “Jin Mao Shopping Mall”:http://www.jinmao88.com/en/shopping/item/2004_02/793.shtml. They actually have three locations in Shanghai. You can get the finest Italian material and get it made essentially anyway that you want. A really high end suit with two pairs of…

Watch Shopping in China
According to Roland, if you want a fancy watch, you should go to Hong Kong. There is a 30% luxury import tax in China, so it makes more sense to go to Hong Kong.

Trek in China
While driving from the dinner, I saw a “Trek”:http://www.billingsgazette.com/newdex.php?display=rednews/2005/10/13/build/business/54-trek.inc store in China. Apparently late in 2005, they opened a store. Giant (the big Taiwanese bicycle manufacturer is here as well, but only sell low end bicycles), but Trek is going to seel more. Other interesting tidbits are that Trek itself has 35% of the US…

PHP Editors
We’ve had a bunch of build problems with “Qiming Ventures”:http://qimingventures.com, so back to looking at PHP and MovableType scripts. Here are some resources: * “PHP Editors”:http://www.php-editors.com/. If you can believe it there is an entire website devoted just to PHP editing. They even include a “reviews”:http://www.php-editors.com/review/?PHPSESSID=bf704693acaebde588a17ab47e89cc2c section where the best freeware editor is “PHP Designer”:http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php…

“No. 50 Moganshan Rd”:http://com.miami.edu/china/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1153121941&archive=&start_from=&ucat=6& ?????50? not dry mountain? is a renovated power plant that has some amazing art and sculpture that is at the cutting edge of art in China. It is mainly post-modern stuff and really interesting. The artists live in their galleries, you can see the little day beds and things everywhere. It…

Green T. House
“Green T. House”:http://travel2.nytimes.com/top/features/travel/destinations/asia/china/beijing/restaurant_details.html?vid=1124996111864 is amazingly confusing to find because, for one thing, its chinese name (??? zi3 yun2 xuan1 or purple cloud pavillion) has nothing to do with its English name. It is a violet flower in Chinese. Also, it is on the side of a gigantic mall area call 100 Gongti Xi Lu where…
